This spring, Amazon said it was raising the price of its annual Prime membership fee to $119 a year, up 20 percent from $99.

With the expansion, Whole Foods stores in 23 states will have integrated Prime benefits at checkout.

Amazon and Whole Foods said Prime member deals will be featured prominently in stores.

Now even more Amazon Prime members can save extra money at Whole Foods. "Based on the positive customer feedback and successes we've seen over the past month, we're accelerating our timeline to expand these savings to all of our USA stores".

Amazon Prime members in Arizona, Georgia, Hawaii, Oregon, North Carolina, Washington, Mississippi, Alabama, Arizona, and SC, as well as parts of Southern California, will be able to take advantage of steep discounts at Whole Foods, starting on June 13. Customers can also opt in to use their mobile phone number to save at checkout.

Amazon introduced the discount program at Whole Foods in May, almost a year after Amazon bought the upscale grocery chain for $13.7 billion. The grocery delivery service is available in 10 cities. Prime Now offers free two-hour delivery on orders of more than $35.
